The historian's main point of this article is that church back in the days were very powerful in order to control the society.
2. What are the roles of a historian defined by John Arnold? Do you agree or disagree with his assumptions? Can you think of any other roles? a) Historians have roles that are to report and interperet each other.

We argued is being an older sibling better than being younger. Being older needs to be responsible. Also, older siblings have to be a role- model for younger sibling.

What does this tell us about history? a) There would be problems such as arguing about different and diffucult situations and opinions from them. It would have came out less. They would have cared about their own benefit.I think looking at a subjective way could have been beneficial to the study of history because there would have been more opinions and thoughts.
7. Why is every historian "a storyteller?" If all historians are storytellers and there are myriad versions of every story, can we trust historians? Why or why not? a) Every historian is a storyteller because they give you a fact and they interpret themselves. We could not trust the historians because people could see the point of view in many different ways and understand in other thoughts. If they only gave out the facts, then we could have trusted the historians.
8. How did your view of history and historians change based on this reading? How will you approach history now that you have explored these views? a) My point of view of history and historians changed a lot based on this reading.
